Preface Welcome to the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager. These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager manuals were printed: IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Installation and Configuration Guide Adapter Features and Purpose The i5/os adapter is designed to create and manage accounts on System I. The adapter runs in agentless mode and communicates using HTTP to the systems being managed. IBM recommends the installation of this adapter (and the prerequisite Tivoli Directory Integrator) on each node of an Identity Manager WAS cluster. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple i5/os Services. The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics. The Identity Manager adapters are powerful tools that require administrator level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, creating accounts, permissions and home directories. Operations requested from the Identity Manager server will fail if the adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this adapter run with administrative (root) permissions. Identity Manager v5.0 Page: 3

Known Issues DevTrack APAR# PMR# / Description Editing adapter profiles on UNIX or Linux. The adapter profile JAR file may contain ASCII files created using MS-DOS ASCII format (i.e. schema.dsml, CustomLabels.properties, and service.def). If you edit a MS-DOS ASCII file in Unix you will often see the characters ^M at the end of each line. This is the extra character 0x0d that is used to indicate a new line of text in MS-DOS. There are tools, such as dos2unix, that can be used to strip out the ^M character. In addition, there are text editors that will ignore the ^M character. If you are using the vi editor, you can strip out the ^M character as follow: From the vi's command mode: :%s/^m//g followed by pressing Enter. The ^M (or Ctrl-M) typed to show it here should actually be entered by pressing ^v^m in sequence. (The ^v preface tells vi to use the next keystroke literally instead of taking it as a command.) During a modify transaction, when one value of a multi-valued attribute fails, the values in Tivoli Identity Manager may not be reflected correctly on the account form. Affects attributes: Special Auth, Supplementary Groups, User Options. NOTE: when using the TDI Application Monitoring Console, the RMI traffic to TDI is rerouted to port 1099. This may affect the operation of the TIM TDIbased adapters. Two options are available: (1) Change the TIM Service form for the TDI-based adapters to specify port 1099 (instead of the default 16231, or (2) configure the Application Monitoring Console to listen on port 16231 by modifying the api.remote.nameing.port property in the solution.properties file.

Installation and Configuration Notes See the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Adapter Installation Guide for detailed instructions. Corrections to Installation Guide The following corrections to the Installation Guide apply to this release: NOTE: Dispatcher version 5.007 or higher is required. Dispatcher must be reinstalled (included in the release package) if you are on version 5.006 or earlier. Managing Password when Restoring Accounts On Page 13 of ins_i5os_46.pdf and Page 16 of i5os50.pdf, there is a typographical error. The word property must be all lower case. The lines should read as follows: <property Name = "com.ibm.itim.remoteservices.resourceproperties. PASSWORD_NOT_REQUIRED_ON_RESTORE"><value>true</value> </property> <property Name = "com.ibm.itim.remoteservices.resourceproperties. PASSWORD_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_RESTORE"><value>false</value> </property> Configuration Notes The following configuration notes apply to this release: Updating Adapters from Version 4.6 Tivoli Directory Integrator version 6.1.1 is a prerequisite to run the 5.0 adapters. To upgrade the adapter from a Tivoli Identity Manager 4.6 installation, perform the following: 1. If the Tivoli Directory Integrator is not version 6.1.1, take the appropriate actions to upgrade it. 2. Install all the adapter's components, as described in the installation guide, on the Tivoli Directory Integrator version 6.1.1. The installer will replace any previous installation. 3. Import the adapter profile into the Tivoli Identity Manager 5.0. Date Formats On i5os resource, the values for date format, date string separator and the Time string separator can be customized. The supported values on resource as follows. date format= YMD, MDY, DMY and jul date separator="/", ".", ",", "-" time separator= ":", ",", ":" The default supported values for the attributes are as follows. date format= "YMD" date separator= "/" Identity Manager v5.0 Page: 8
time separator= ":" If the values on resource are same, then no customization will be required. The adapter can be used as it is. If the values on user set-up are different, the service profile can be customized to add their system specific values by following steps below. a) Import the service profile in TIM thr the Import UI. b) In TIM UI Go to Configure System > Design Forms c) Select the required service from service list. d) In right most attribute list panel select eros400dateformat, eros400dateseparator, eros400timeseparator attributes e) Click on add row button to add them to the required tab on service form. f) Provide the appropriate values for the attributes while service creation. NOTE: Julian date format is not supported. Identity Manager v5.0 Page: 9
Customizing or Extending Adapter Features The Identity Manager adapters can be customized and/or extended. The type and method of this customization may vary from adapter to adapter. The capabilities are described below. Getting Started Customizing and extending adapters requires a number of additional skills. The developer must be familiar with the following concepts and skills prior to beginning the modifications: Tivoli Identity Manager administration Tivoli Directory Integrator management Tivoli Directory Integrations assemblyline development LDAP schema management Working knowledge of Java scripting language Working knowledge of LDAP object classes and attributes Working knowledge of XML document structure Note: If the customization requires a new Tivoli Directory Integrator connector, the developer must also be familiar with Tivoli Directory Integrator connector development and working knowledge of Java programming language.

Tivoli Directory Integrator Resources: Check the Learn section of the Tivoli Directory Integrator Support web site for links to training, publications, and demos. Tivoli Identity Manager Adapter Development: Adapter Development Tool The Adapter Development Tool, ADT, is a tool used by IBM Tivoli Identity Manager customers and consultants to create custom TIM adapters. It reduces adapter delivery time by about 50% and it helps in the development of custom adapters. The Adapter development tool is available on the IBM Open Process Automation Library (OPAL). Support for Customized Adapters The integration to the Identity Manager server the adapter framework is supported. However, IBM does not support the customizations, scripts, or other modifications. If you experience a problem with a customized adapter, IBM Support may require the problem to be demonstrated on the GA version of the adapter before a PMR is opened. Identity Manager v5.0 Page: 10
